useful for tailing logs from remote host over http

By
A colleague showed me a tool for tailing logs if they are for example accessible only over HTTP.
Pretty useful.

Just use it with following command and you have logging action running on your local terminal..

> java -jar WebTail.jar http://host/path/to/log/file.log 10


Last number (10) in row indicates how ofter log will be refreshed.


Enjoy!

brew, "pear install ...", Log for example..

By
I had issues while installing Log package from Pear. I used brew to get PHP (5.5.17) running on my MBP. So, back to the installing issue - if I tried to execute following command I got an error .. $ pear install Log No releases available for package "pear.php.net/Log" intallation failed So, failed. Then I tried to download the package using "pear download Log". Failed too. Solution was to go to Log package Pear page  and manually download the package. And in terminal you should executed the same installation command and point to downloaded file.. $ pear install /path/to/downloaded/Log-1.12.8.tar .. output skipped .. install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Log-1.12.8 Done. Anyway, there are probably other (better, more modern) logging libraries out there for PHP applications. Feel free to post your favorite one with short description to comments. Thanks in advance!
